Digital Storytelling and Implicated Scholarship in the Classroom

Publication: Journal of Canadian Studies
Volume 43, Number 1

Abstract

Abstract

This essay describes the development of digital storytelling as a popular multimedia work and how the authors have applied it in the university classroom. As a pedagogical tool, digital storytelling offers a unique learning experience for students. The authors explore student discourse about the learning and situate this experience within a framework of implicated scholarship, an ongoing engagement between the academy and society. Implicated scholarship is developed in the methodology and practice of the French visual ethnographer Jean Rouch and has a deep historical lineage running through Canadian applied anthropology. Digital storytelling in an implicated vein protects and illuminates social complexity.

Résumé

Cet essai décrit le développement du récit numérisé comme travail multimédia populaire et comment nous l’avons appliqué dans une classe universitaire. En tant qu’outil pédagogique, le récit numérisé offre une expérience d’apprentissage unique pour les étudiants. Les auteurs explorent le discours étudiant au sujet de l’apprentissage et situent cette expérience à l’intérieur d’un cadre d’érudition engagée, un engagement continu entre l’enseignement universitaire et la société. L’érudition engagée est développée dans la méthodologie et la pratique de l’ethnologue visuel français Jean Rouch et possède une généalogie historique profonde qui se retrouve dans l’ensemble de l’anthropologie appliquée canadienne. Le récit numérisé, dans un esprit engagé, protège et illumine la complexité sociale.
